“I don’t really have pain anymore.”
REAL PEOPLE, REAL STORIES
Meet John
John Petersen was diagnosed with leukemia in 2018. Making matters worse, John also suffered severe neuropathy in his hands as a result of his chemotherapy treatment.
His neuropathy became so bad that John had a hard time even gripping a pencil. “My hands became really weak, I had sharp pains, and I just felt like I couldn’t do anything.”
Nura Understands Your Pain
When he first heard about Nura from his oncologist, John wasn’t sure what to think. “I was hesitant. I didn’t want to go.” But ultimately, he did go — which made all the difference.
After an initial evaluation, Nura tried a number of different therapies to help John with his cancer pain. Targeted drug delivery with a spinal pain pump showed the most promise, and after a trial period, John had a pain pump implanted.
“Now they’ve got my pump dialed in almost perfect. I don’t really have pain anymore. It’s been two years, and I feel great. It’s night and day.”
